Most, if not all of those “leviathan”punters , with the exception of Ray Hopkins, in David Hickie’s book were either stealing money or just desperate ,ill informed, big punters. ( Ysmael, The Fireman etc ). If Waterhouse continued to accept their bets he knew they were bound to lose. Compare them to the punters such as Zeljko of today and Waterhouse would have limited their bets to a minimum or even banned them,
